Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of leather dechroming and recycling, and in particular to a process for recovering chromium from leather scraps. Background Art

[0002] The leather industry is an important part of the traditional manufacturing industry. With the development of the industry, a large amount of leather scraps are generated. If the chromium contained in the leather scraps is not recycled, it will not only cause serious pollution to the environment, but also lead to waste of resources.

[0003] Since the composition of leather scraps is complex and diverse, in addition to chromium compounds, it also contains a variety of other organic and inorganic components. These impurities may physically or chemically combine with chromium, interfering with the separation and extraction of chromium during the recycling process, resulting in a low chromium removal rate. At the same time, the chromium inside larger leather particles may not be able to fully contact with the external dechroming agent, so that some chromium cannot be effectively dissolved. In terms of recycling technology, unreasonable process parameters also have a significant impact on chromium recovery. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain a process for recovering chromium from leather scraps. Improving chromium recovery will have important practical significance for reducing environmental pollution. Summary of the Invention
